The iFACT-MP project officially launched on January 1st,2024 and will be running for the following 24 months.
The project aims to strengthen and establish Europe’s predominant position in iodine EP and its mission is to develop an iodine fed thruster subsystem for the 3-5 kW range and work on all the critical building blocks required to enable the realization of an iodine EP subsystem.
